1 Enos Gov 1372 Spring 2012 Syllabus Political Psychology This course examines what psychology (mostly social and cognitive) can tell us about political phenomenon that is, rather than examining what happened in politics (e.g. who won an election) or how it happened (e.g. who voted for whom), we will look at why it happened by looking at the psychology of individuals. For example, what causes individuals to make decisions and form attitudes? Or, why do individuals identify with certain groups and not others? Answering these types of questions will allow us to explain phenomenon such as the role of media in politics, why people identify with parties, and who wins Presidential elections. Although this class will be heavily focused on politics in the United States, there will be examples from other countries. In the course of learning about the substance of these topics, we will also consider how the knowledge was acquired that is what type of research was conducted? How valid are the conclusions? How could the research be improved? In addition to two short midterm quizzes and a final, all students will be asked to complete an original piece of political psychology research. Professor Ryan D. Enos office: CGIS K406 office hours: Thursday 2 4PM and by appointment renos@gov.harvard.edu 1 Topics by Date 1.

3 2.1 section participation All students are expected to attend section, participate in discussion, and complete any assignments as directed by their Teaching Fellow. Discussion sections will meet for one hour, every week, except for the first week of class. 2.2 political psychology research You will be expected to complete an original piece of political psychology research that validates or extends the research examined in class. This assignment will be completed with a group. Your research can take different forms - for example it could be an experiment or a behavioral observation, such as a survey or participant observation. You are responsible for choosing your own groups, within the guidelines set by your instructors. Your instructors reserve the right to alter groups in any way. Your topic and research design must be approved by your Teaching Fellow prior to executing your research. The assignment will have three parts: 1. Research Design: One for entire group. Prior to beginning your research, you must give a research design, in writing, to your Teaching Fellow for approval. If your research design is not approved, you may not begin your research. 2. Group Presentation: You are responsible, as a group, for making a short presentation to your section about your question, design, and findings. 3. Written Report: Each individual is responsible for turning in their own report of their question, design, and findings. Detailed instructions for this assignment will be covered in section during the week of February Short Surveys A few times during the semester, you will be asked to complete a short survey. These will only take a few minutes each and are designed to allow you to have firsthand experience with some of the research that you will be studying. These will not be graded, other than for completion, and your answers will be anonymous. 2.4 Midterm Quizzes You will have two short midterm quizzes. These will be designed to test your knowledge of the readings. 2.5 Final A final exam during exams period. 3
